I was blown away by our experience with Kurty! He didn’t just show us how to fish he PATIENTLY taught us several different fishing techniques, how to recover our line and bait from obscure structures that weren’t under water, and how to safely release our lines from the lily pads.

Yes, we were entertained by Kurt for 4 solid hours. Not sure which was better: The catching, the learning or the laughter. If you are looking for a memory more than just a trip, hire Kurt, you will not be...
